AlFHg 330 Posted November 14, 2018 #22 Share Posted November 14, 2018 This is a picture of something taken somewhere on the Rhone in Villeurbanne it was the only moment of relax I had in four days I spent, or better wasted, in France to do interviews seeking for a Ph.

AlFHg 330 Posted November 14, 2018 #23 Share Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) And this is Napoli :D this city I love/hate where I studied and actually work. This is Castel dell'Ovo that literally means "The Castle of the Egg", in a picture taken from the seaside. The whole world looks wonderful when you see it from there I can never remember the positions, but the two islands in the background should be, from left to right, Capri and Ischia.

Well “Ovo” is not a current Italian word, it is an archaic form of “uovo”, but after all Western Europe language are quite similar thiago_simoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Spanish it is huevo, in French oeuf, in Romanian ou, so I thought Italian would have had a unique word too, like oufo, or something like this, so it makes sense to be uovo. In Portuguese we write ovo, and I have to say the word looks quite weird, but I can't explain why. 5 horas atrás, dcro disse: In Croatian "ovo" means "this". Nice! There's a Cirque du Soleil show called Ovo. It was created by a Brazilian choreographer, and she meant to make it sound different for people who speak other languages, because the word looks curious, but Croatians and Italians might not have been so enticed, after all.
